Pixel Dolls have released some lovely seasonal frocks for your perusal. I’m in love with all of them, and you can check them out by clicking here– BUT I just wanted to share this particular beauty with you. It’s a bit nice isn’t it? It’s got a lovely woolly texture, and looks absolutely spot on with this ETD hair, Redgrave earrings and Curio skin in ‘Nightshade’. This is smart enough to wear in the virtual office and dressy enough to go virtually partying in…team it with some nice boots from the likes of Maitreya and you’re on to a winner if you ask me. Incidentally don’t me norks look fab in this dress? You could almost imagine sticking your face in-between ’em and going ‘Pffflllubbbllleee!’

Sorry. I was only saying what you were thinking!!

Fabulous Autumn Fashions? Ain’t that the TRUTH

Fabulous Autumn Fashions? Ain’t that the TRUTH

Yet again my plans for an evening of Second Life excitement were foiled by the sudden onset of narcolepsy that I seem to have acqui…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But inbetween my Z’s I must share with you that TRUTH has reopened and it has some amazingly spangly stuff on offer. There’s an uber snazzy new building and layout too, with an Industrial/Asian theme that is really impressive…but let’s quit with the flannel and get straight to the good stuff, and there’s plenty of that to be had here! Get ready for a kitty-gasm:)

First things first then, the ‘Hearts’ tops, which feature a delicate heart pattern over the left side ( bet they were up all night thinking of what to call them, huh? Sarcy Kitty:) There’s a keyhole back, with an uber-cute heart shaped fastener and they’re nothing short of easy- wearing perfection. At first glance these tops appear charmingly simple, but look again and you’ll see sublime waist-creasing which bucketloads of realism and basically makes these an essential purchase. The colour options are perfect for the season, and as with most purchases from Truth the price is really reasonable too. I confess that a lot of clothing works for me because I can imagine myself wearing it in real life, and these ‘Hearts’ tops are no exception to that rule. I want them..they’re so lovely! The ‘Hearts’ tops mix and match perfectly with jeans and trousers ( I didn’t try them with a skirt but my guess is that they’ll still look fab..perhaps a long A-line with chunky boots would be perfect…) and because the pack features tucked and untucked versions of the top you’ll not have any issues with the wearability. Bingo bango bongo for those then! ( It’s Friday, can’t you tell?) Moving on…I must admit I was a tad surprised to see shorts on offer at Truth for the Autumn/Winter season, but stick with me on this because it’s really not as daft as it sounds.Think layering here; stick these beauties on over a pair of patterned tights and team with heels or boots for a funky look. There’s a tribal design over the right side which makes these bang up-to-date; and as per usual the textures, colour choices and overall look of these is spot on. I’m not really a shorts kinda gal, but I’ve lapped these up like a kitty with the proverbial cream……More Autumnal in aspect are the Cherokee and Assassin vests (bodywarmers to us common types) Now, I’ve seen these before in Second Life but with varying degrees of success. Some of the more unfortunate examples I’ve seen render the user akin to the Michelin Man..but not so these beauties. The pattern choices and the seaming are spot on, just like all the other items that I haven’t even mentioned, including the Tropicana dress, the Jack Sparrow Capri (love the name) and the Skyline  tank. My absolute favourite though has to be Veronica. There’s something almost comforting ( I know, I’m crackers) about this top and again it mixes and matches really well with other items in your wardrobe. I love the sculpted cowl collar and the stripe combo colours are ace.
I’m seriously impressed by this collection and the whole lot deserves to be bought by everyone and worn to death:) Note- I haven’t even mentioned the exciting new menswear range , which is rather magic.  I need Jez to be in world so that I can deck him out in the requisite pieces; so I’ll leave that one for you to investigate on your own..and don’t even get me started on the new hair..oh the hair!! ( Kitty goes all wibbly and runs off to have a lie down because of all the excitement)

Excuses, excuses….

Excuses, excuses….

Well I meant to go in world last night, I really did, BUT when I got home from work I was so absolutely knackered out that I just flopped onto the sofa and struggled to get up again. I somehow found the strength to walk Indiana but once we’d had supper my brain went to bed so it was only sensible that my body should follow…Actually, I blame our new bed. We’ve got one of those memory foam jobbies and it’s happiness in a mattress shaped form. When you clamber into bed you can practically hear your bones go ‘ahhhhhh’ so I think my body is conspiring against me to make me feel so absolutely tired out that have to go to Bedfordshire earlier than normal….next thing I’ll be looking at Scholl sandals and thinking, “Hmm-they look comfy!”

Anyway, because I’ve not provided a fashion fix over the past few days, why don’t you click HERE to read the latest edition of Second Style? It’s nommable!

I’ve been to a marvellous party…

I’ve been to a marvellous party…

I have had a rather super birthday weekend. The party on Friday was so much fun, Krystal Devonshire and DJ Cyberpink provided some absolutely amazing 80’s choonage, and it was so good that..get ready for this..Jez stayed in world with me until 2am!! He never bloody well logs into Second Life, let alone stay in world for any particular length of time, so that was a huge achievement ( and it meant so much to me too x) The music was gob-smackingly good, and I was seriously hammered as well..ahem, something I didn’t realise until I clambered upstairs to my real life bed. I’d actually polished off the best part of two bottles of red during the 4 hours of the party…This is the thing though, sometimes it’s very ‘dangerous’ to drink whilst in world, because you honestly have no idea how much you have imbibed as you keep replenishing your glass willy-nilly. (Mike Mission was the best SL drunk I ever heard during the last ever party at the 3L(prior to it’s reopening, obviously) He was doing a live set and rambling on in-between the records before suddenly *silence* He’d passed out: in real life! I still chuckle at the memory!))So I awoke on Saturday to some fabulous presents, lots of cards, and a minor hangover. Amongst my amazing gifts were a spa day courtesy of Whoosh and Starfire (Oh my god-six hours of pampering! Can you imagine?) and Jez got me my Space Navigator! The learning curve isn’t that steep but obviously being incredibly clumsy I am finding it slightly hard to get used to, so please, if you see me flailing around the grid don’t be alarmed..to finish off my birthday Jez and I went for a meal and it was just culinary perfection par excellence. I actually think I had a multiple food-gasm, and again we enjoyed some very fine Chilean red before we wobbled home. I’ve probably drunk more red wine this weekend than I ever have in my entire life, but hey-I’m not complaining!

I’m also *very* excited as well because I got a surprise from Jez that I haven’t recovered from! ( No, not that kind of surprise!) We’re going to see ‘Hamlet’ at the RSC next Wednesday!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! Not only is it an RSC production in their flagship theatre which is of course in Stratford-upon-Avon, BUT it stars David Tennant AND Patrick Stewart to boot…geekette that I am I’m expecting to be very moist at seeing these two on stage. I’m four rows from the front as well, which is close enough to shout in a loud and happy fashion; “Come on David, show us yer Tardis!” Of course I wouldn’t do that in the RSC because that would be very uncouth, and contrary to popular belief I am actually extremely clever and lady-like…

Shurrup laughing…..

So, normal blog service will be resumed forthwith dear reader! I’m off to spend the L$10000 that my lovely friend Lilias Benoir dropped on me..

I’ve worked out that it will take me all of five minutes to spend it:)

WOOTLES!!!
